Section 1: Getting Started

This section explains how to start using your phone by first configuring your hardware, activating your service, and then setting up your voice mail.

Setting Up Your Phone

Prior to use it is necessary to install both the battery and SIM into their corresponding internal compartments. The microSD™ card slot is also located in this same internal area.
1. Remove the back cover by inserting a fingernail into
the slot on the top of your phone (1).
2. Lift the cover up (2) and away from the phone (3).
Caution!
Do not bend or twist the back cover excessively. Doing so may damage the cover.
Installing the SIM Card
When you subscribe to a cellular network, you are provided with a plug-in SIM card loaded with your subscription details, such as your PIN, available optional services, and many others features.
Getting Started 6
Important!
Correct
Incorrect
The plug-in SIM card information and its contacts can be easily damaged by scratching or bending, so be careful when handling, inserting, or removing the card. Keep all SIM cards out of reach of small children.
Carefully slide the SIM card into the SIM card socket (as shown) until the card locks into place.
•
Make sure that the card’s gold contacts face into the phone and that the upper-left angled corner of the card is positioned as shown.
Note:

Charging a Battery

Your device is powered by a rechargeable Li-ion battery. The Travel Charger that is used to charge the battery, is included with your device. Use only Samsung-approved batteries and chargers.
9
Note:
You must fully charge the battery before using your phone for the first time. A discharged battery recharges fully in approximately 4 hours.
Note:
Long backlight settings, searching for service, vibrate mode, web browser use, and other variables may reduce the battery’s talk and standby times.
Although you can use the phone while the battery is charging, doing so will require additional charging time.
Using the Travel Charger
Important!
Verify that the handset battery is installed prior to connection. If the battery is not properly installed and the wall charger is connected, the handset may power off and on continuously, preventing proper operation.
1. Plug the flat end of the Travel Charger into the Power/
Correct
Incorrect
Accessory Interface connector and the other end into a standard AC wall outlet.
2. When charging is finished, remove the flat end from
the interface connector jack on the phone.
Warning!
If your handset has a touch screen display, please note that a touch screen responds best to a light touch from the pad of your finger. Using excessive force or a metallic object when pressing on the touch screen may damage the tempered glass surface and void the warranty. For more information, refer to “Standard Limited Warranty” on page 199.
Note:
Failure to unplug the wall charger before you remove the battery, can cause damage to the phone.
Low Battery Indicator
When the battery is weak and only a few minutes of talk time remain, the battery icon ( ) blinks and the device sounds a warning tone at regular intervals. In this condition, your phone conserves its remaining battery power, not by turning off the backlight, but by entering the dimming mode. For a quick check of your battery level, glance at the battery charge indicator located in the upper-right corner of your device’s display. Solid color ( ) indicates a full charge.
When the battery level becomes too low, the phone automatically turns off.
